Our goal at AeroVironment is simple: to create a safer and cleaner environment for all. As an aircraft manufacturer, our company develops small Unmanned Aircraft Systems, used for intelligence, reconnaissance, and surveillance by the United States Military. We are also deeply concerned about the affects of global warming, pollution, and the limitation of our natural resources. As a result, we have developed various methods for converting wind and water energy into clean yet practical energy systems.

In addition, AeroVironment has also developed multiple Test Systems for electric vehicle batteries, and has joined forces with PosiCharge Systems in order to better serve those operating electric batteries.
